The upcoming bidding process for downstate New York retail casino licenses is top-of-mind for many gambling industry insiders, and New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) Chairman Brian O’Dwyer has concerns about two possible applicants. O’Dwyer told attendees at a NYSGC meeting that he’s keeping a close eye on allegations involving Resorts World Las Vegas and Wynn Resorts’ activities in Nevada.
Speaking at the meeting on Sept. 23, O’Dwyer said:
“As many are aware, the last step in awarding the licenses of the three potential casinos in New York lays not with…the location board but with us… And we will thoroughly review all relevant material — including, of course, the allegations lodged against Wynn and Resorts World.”
